OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Welcome to the PIR 06/15/2012 TG 31

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by Star (S-11, D-177; PIR 6-15) on May 16, 2012 at 10:16pm: Read read read. Learn the language, join RTC's facebook page and look for pictures; The navy's hurry up and wait policy; No news is good news; The relief they will feel the second they get the form letter. That it takes time to get that letter. it doesn't happen quickly. That no matter what they are feeling, to ALWAYS be positive and encouraging to their SR in their letters and phone calls. Also that first 20 second phone call............just LISTEN. They only have 20 second. No time to talk. They will only have a few seconds to say I love you at the end. they need to understand that - it will make it easier. That the pants are rolled up because they had to roll them up to be measured for boots and did not have time to unroll them, not because of any other reason that is rolling through their minds. That if they do not get a special note in the 'kid in the box' or the form letter to not be upset... their SR is under alot of pressure and scared to death to take that risk. It's okay.

Mmm.............I think that's enough of what I've experienced. LOL

Cyndyi, we are neighbors, so far, i have only found one other in my sons div, but these ladies are so very nice and welcoming here. And have lots to share.

Comment by Jaime A-Corpsman St. MOM on May 15, 2012 at 10:08pm: I think my son's social life is already beyond me...(mom) Found out he wrote three letters to a girl ...friend that he used to work with. She posted on his FB wall, she was so proud of him, and glad to hear he was doing great! I'm glad to hear that it was positive! Also, Thankful for my 11 year old son at home, I still have my work cut out, to do here. Lol. Hope Garret, is better Star..what happened?
